In the first years of the current decade, Chinese investment has been widely welcomed in an environment characterized by declining investment rates and low economic growth.

    Empirical models of international commodity trade ows tend to show that exchange rate volatility has either no or negative impact on export volumes. This analysis has a number of limitations.

In this context, this article aims to provide the theoretical underpinnings to demonstrate that these traders play a very particular role and that they have an influence on the rea ...
